Ascent Notes for: Spare Ribs (a.k.a. Ribless) - 5.6 Average Rating : 3.77/5

The entire face was wet due to the mist. I found ribless much easier than Ribs.

Always a nice route after having been away from the Gunks for a while. Did the 2nd Pitch of Ribs and the 3rd pitch of Arch. Very nice.

did the first pitch on toprope

love this route. climbed w seth as our warmup. i led both pitches as one and he followed.

i led this route at Dana's recommendation, and he seconded.
i absolutely loved the climb. nice sustained climbing throughout with some balancey face moves and a nice arete. i didnt have a problem placing good gear throughout the climb. definitely would give this climb more than the one star williams give it. Really nice!!

Don't know why people said this was run-out. I was able to place a lot of pro (mostly small cams).

Enjoyable climbing. A bit runout but fairly easy climbing for a 6.

Seemed easier than Ribs, but that may be height dependent. Slightly run out and you have to watch for ropes dropping on you from above (its on a bolted rap route).

This seems easier than Ribs. It's definitely not 5.6.
